Chu Suiliang was born in Qiantang, Hangzhou (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang) in the 16th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (596). Father Chu Liang is a friend of Yu Shinan, and both of them are famous bachelors recruited by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin when he was the king of Qin, with a total of 18 people, so-called "eighteen bachelors".
Chu Suiliang served as a secretary and prime minister in Taizong and Gaozong dynasties.
After Yu Shinan's death, Emperor Taizong lamented that there was no one to discuss calligraphy with him. Wei Zhi recommended Chu Suiliang, saying that his calligraphy was "very rare for Wang Yi" and he was able to serve Emperor Taizong. At that time, there was a large collection of Wang Xizhi's ink in the palace, which was appraised by Chu Suiliang and judged to be true and false, which was quite appreciated by Taizong.
Chu sui Liang Lin
Preface to Lanting
Chu Suiliang's regular script was once influenced by Ou Yangxun and Yu Shinan. Written at the age of 46, The Inscription of the Buddhist Shrine in Yi Que (641) has a neat and vigorous style, particularly brilliant bones, and a European style. The following year, The Monument to Master Meng, which has both the elegance of European characters and the elegance of Yu characters, is more inclined to Yu characters.

The iconic work of Chu Suiliang's self-contained method was written at the age of 53.
Fang Xuanling Monument (648).
His masterpiece in regular script is Preface to the Holy Religion of Wild Goose Pagoda, written at the age of 58. One is Preface written by Emperor Taizong, and the other is Record written by Tang Gaozong, which is engraved on two stone tablets (now in the south gate of Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an).
In his later years, Chu Suiliang wrote regular script, and his brushwork was smooth. Even if he hooked and folded the pen, he did not hesitate at all, and his circulation was smart and he had a running script. He is good at using the pen, and his strokes are fine and vigorous. "A hook and a slap have the power of a thousand strokes." The word is graceful and charming, and later generations call it "a beautiful woman."
Yin fu Jing
(now in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, USA)
There are two kinds of Chu Suiliang's ink in the world. One kind is Yin Fu Jing (now in the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, USA), which is a work that imitates Chu characters with a wide and neat font, a little sense of propriety, but less dexterity. In addition, the ink version of Ni Kuanzan (now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei) is also a copy of later generations, but the font is narrow and long, unlike the Chu characters seen in the tablet.
